The Kim Campbell Gang and the WaterWarCrimes

The five gentlemen depicted below could fairly be called the Kim Campbell Gang. In our opinion some of them committed some crimes. We will tell you what we know and you can be the judge. From left to right, these gentleman are:

Rob Nicholson Allan Gregg John Sims Patrick Kinsella Lyall Knott

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson

He was made a Cabinet Minister in Kim Campbell's Government which briefly succeeded Brian Mulroney and was soundly trounced in the 1993 General Election. In January 2007, Mr. Nicholson was appointed Justice Minister and Attorney General for Canada by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

On January 20, 2008, Mr. Carten and Ms Gibbs filed their Statement of Claim in the Canada's Federal Court and served a copy upon the Mr. Nicholson as Attorney General for Canada.

On January 30, 2008, the Government of Canada commenced a prosecution of Mr. Carten in the Provincial Court of British Columbia based on a false and fraudulent statement given to the police and continued that prosecution even though the Crown knew the information was false and fraudulent.

During the course of the prosecution, Mr. Carten made requests to the Deputy Minister of Justice, John Sims, that he be provided with full and fair disclosure of documents to prove his innocence.

Under Mr. Nicholson's leadership and direction those requests were denied.

Patrick Kinsella

According to records found in the files of W.C.W.. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd., the company hired Patrick Kinsella's firm. the Progressive Group, to advise it on its water export business. The records indicate indicate that Kinsella's firm and W.C.W.. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. had discussions about getting the Government of British Columbia to create a moratorium on the granting of licences to competitors who would compete in the bulk water export business and, eventually, a few months later, that is exactly what the Government of British Columbia did.

A lot of Canadians, naively and incorrectly, believe that the moratorium on bulk water exports imposed by the Government of British Columbia was an environmental reasons.

The fact is that the idea of a moratorium was part of the business plan of W.C.W.. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. but the public were duped into believing it was an environmental measure.

Patrick Kinsella Continued

Kinsella got his start in politics, and learned the influence of the backroom, in Ontario in the 1970s as a key insider who advised then Premier Bill Davis.

Life on the political inside comes with a certain amount of risk, and in his long career Kinsella has been accused more than once of giving bad advice or backing the wrong horse.

Kinsella returned to B.C., where in 1986 he managed former Social Credit Attorney General Brian Smith's losing bid to lead the Social Credit party. Smith was the Attorney General

The winner, Bill Vander Zalm, reportedly told Kinsella he was unwelcome in the movement, but within a few years was again turning to him for advice.

He also ran the Socred's campaign under Rita Johnson's leadership in 1991 in an election the party lost to the NDP's Mike Harcourt.

After the election, with the NDP in power, Kinsella turned his attention to federal politics. In 1993 he worked on Kim Campbell's campaign to become leader of the Progressive Conservatives, but later that year he was to be dumped from the election team.

"Insiders say Kinsella has been personally supportive of Campbell during her first election campaign but that she needs someone strong enough to give her strategic advice she'll accept," the Toronto Star reported. "And they feel Kinsella has not played a needed role of explaining policy to the media travelling with Campbell, or of mopping up behind her public errors." After the election, part of the blame for Campbell's defeat went to Kinsella. The Toronto Star found, "Kinsella, did not have the skills (or inclination) to alleviate the tensions between Campbell and the press. He regarded the media with ill-concealed contempt." He would later back Belinda Stronach in her 2004 campaign to be Conservative leader, and Christy Clark in her 2005 battle to be the NPA candidate for mayor.

Over the past several years, Kinsella has worked closely with Premier Gordon Campbell

In 1996, he acted as a backroom campaign adviser to Campbell,in 2001 he co-chaired the campaign that handed Gordon Campbell a victory over the NDP and in 2005, when Gordon Campbell was re-elected with a 46-33 majority, Kinsella chaired the advisory committee that oversaw the campaign.

In 1989 Kinsella told the Vancouver Sun the Progressive Group does not lobby but the firm provides public relations assistance and advises companies on government policies that may affect their operations.
